2007 Ford Focus 2.5L Petrol · ST07 SUT

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent string of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent test in May 2025 at 118,363 miles resulted in no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. This lack of advisories or failures suggests that the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical and safety issues before they could trigger an MOT failure, maintaining a high operational standard. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a nineteen-year-old Ford Focus, averaging approximately 6,230 miles per year. Between December 2020 and May 2025, the car covered 5,165 miles, showing very low usage in the recent term. The intervals between tests are regular, with mileage increments of roughly 1,000 to 2,000 miles per annual cycle from 2021 onwards. This low annual mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, though it can sometimes lead to dry seals if the vehicle sits for extended periods. Despite the clean record, a physical inspection must focus on age-related degradation that an MOT test does not always fully capture. A buyer should check for structural integrity, specifically looking for corrosion on the sills and rear suspension mounting points which are common weak spots on this generation. Given the low mileage, rubber components such as suspension bushes may perish, and the brake discs should be inspected for pitting or surface rust from lack of use. Testing fluid levels and condition is also essential to ensure the low usage has not resulted in neglected service intervals.
